I Have Loved Women Even

I Have Often Met With Happiness After Some Imprudent Step Which Ought To Have Brought Ruin Upon Me, And Although Passing A Vote Of Censure Upon Myself I Would Thank God For His Mercy.

Be The Flame, Not The Moth.

I Have Always Had Such Sincere Love For Truth, That I Have Often Begun By Telling Stories For The Purpose Of Getting Truth To Enter The Heads Of Those Who Could Not Appreciate Its Charms.

You Will Be Amused When You See That I Have More Than Once Deceived Without The Slightest Qualm Of Conscience, Both Knaves And Fools.

From That Moment Our Love Became Sad, And Sadness Is A Disease Which Gives The Death-blow To Affection.
